WHITE PLAINS — The children of James McNair, a comedian who was killed in the New Jersey Turnpike crash that injured Tracy Morgan, are getting a $10 million settlement from Walmart, court papers show.

The documents also show that the children — Jamel McNair, 26, and Denita McNair, 19 — are putting part of the payment toward annuities that will pay them ever-increasing monthly sums, starting at $3,000, for the rest of their lives.

The $10 million figure was disclosed in documents filed in Surrogate’s Court in Westchester County, where James McNair lived before the June 7 crash. A Walmart truck hit a limousine van that was carrying Mr. McNair, Mr. Morgan and others home from a show in Delaware.
